Women are dressing their hair as much as ever in the mode of the figure it. finished with a Psyche knot. The hair about the face is puffed out over small combs, to which are sometimes i attached the fluffy "weddings” which I make a puff look thick and rich, for women, it is whispered, are beginning to Wear false hair again. and even . “rolls," or eluding, to augment their own looks. The pompadour nurcolo is worn. pro- vided it is Incoming, and. if the shape of the face forbids it. it is contrived in a modified form, and soft little rings of hair are arranged about the brow and temples. For most women some kind of “bang” is indispensable. It should not be forgotten that it softens the lines so often seen in women past their girl- hood. When out; and curled with an artistic sense. the outline of the hair on the brow bringsout every feature of the fame to the best. advantage. ‘ Curls are much in evidence—curls falling over or beneath flat braids and coils at the back of thobcad; curls peep- , lug out coqucttishly behind the left our 1 or drooping low on one side of the neck; ' ringlcts. glossy. smooth, round like a cylinder and capable of “bobbing” in enchanting fashion with each move- ment of the owner's head. Whether for street or evening toilet. the hair is Worn moderately low. In no case does it tower above the forehead. as formerly. For back, on the very crown of the head, is the cents-ref the coif‘furc. And the tresses must be wnvcd~wavod cud crimped all over the head to give the loan. unetudied, yet pleasing, effect so much fif‘lllgllt. Gloss and smoothness are desirable. and curling irons are de~ bounced for constant use. as the heat dries up the natural oil and renders the hair brittle and liable to premature grayness. All kinds of ccntrivances are used for producing the requisite wave and crimp. ”Crimpers" have charming little rib- bons attached ih‘l fastenings. so arranged that madam looks quite in: captivating in her crimping pins as when in full log little blue bows dotted all over it or' ebon locks cased in orange or crim- son crimpcrs are really far from unbe- coming.

Gold and silver combs or combs with out steel headings make a pretty circlct or half moon of brightness against dark or an- burn locks.-Phtladclphia Times. The Right of Women to but In Church. At the recent meeting of the minis- ters belonging to the Reformed church the Rev. Dr. James Crawford read a psperca "St. Paul’s Teaching In itc- gard to Women Speaking In Church.” The doctor considered this important problem under three heads—first. the right of women to speak in meeting; second. the impropriety of women speak- ing in church: third. why is it right in the one case and improper in the other? Then he to answer the ques- tion. “How shallwcreccncile St. Paul‘s yes with St. Paul’s nsyi” . in the first place, said Dr. Crawford. it must be right for men to speak on certain occasions because it is WW .ssplicit Mam: “Entrees “if” not "a silence." “till-albumin: women to ' person and speaks with authority.

The reconciliatim .is to he found in the'didmacsjbetveen “a put» its millage” and “the church.” Sunday school. missionary. prayer and young people’s meetings are, in a way. public assemblages. They are voluntary --'not representativmilhuut any offl- cial authority. In some respects they are more private than public, being at. tended by only a few instead of all the church. We may put them upon the same plane as social gatherings. Iris no more proper to restrict free- dom of speech to women in these reli- gious meetings than to restrict their speech in social gatherings. "The church. ” however, is a different sort of organization. The minister is an official one can teach in the church unions or» dni‘ned to speak with authority—Phila- llata, Bennett and Toqnu. The new millincry displays the usual collection of extreme styles. shapes. and exaggerated fancies, but We can hope for something less picturesque and more generally becoming later on, when good taste has modified them to our use. There are some striking revivals of old time hats, which look as if they might have come out of some of Gainsbor- ough‘s pieturce. and photographs of the last century portraits by English paint. ere have really furnished the milliners with many of their models. The high. rather pointed crowns and wide brims rolled a little on one side, trimmed with many plumes and showy buckles, are some of the latest shapes, which are becoming to very few women] These large bats vary in the height of the crown and the width of the brim, which rolls more or less at the side ‘us you wish. but the Madonna face which makes them a success is the exception so the low crowned, mnlium brimmcd hats are quite as fashionable and not nearly so trying in shape. The felt bats in green. blue, blur-l: and brown are very nice. and all the necessary height is given in the trimming of feathers, wings and rucbes of ribbon or velvet. Velvet hats of all colors and shapes are to be very much worn. and the small bonnet shapes are prettily trimmed with fur tails, cream lace and jeweled ornaments. 4 One very pretty toque is of black and green velvet, with soft. full rim. and trimmed with cream lace and steel but- tons. Another toque is of green velvet, trimmed with lace and pink roses. The Trinnou shape, which has an undulating brim, is shown in mauve wlvct of two shades, woven together like basket work, for the crown, the darker shade of velvet for the rim and trimmed with violets and lavender drape. Pink, yel- low, empire, green and violet velvet bonncts are made for evening wear, with glittering ornaments for a finish, with flowers or feathers. And there are all sorts of toques in capote shape, without any strings. Shaded velvet chrysnntbemums in purple. violet and pink, with the green leaves, are a fash- ionable hat trimming. and feathers are sometimes arranged in front like acrest. Louis XV hats. with narrow brims turned up, are worn, and (mg the im- ported novelties are hats of leather. which are recommended for cyclists. ex- cept those of white kid, which are to be worn for calling and on other dressy occasions—New York Sun. A Simple Sideboard. There is dignity in massive furniture. but there may be grace and much attrac- tiveness in that of lighter construction. Besides, the construction: of the lighter furniture may be within the powers of the amateur woodworker. while ‘ the massive designs rarely are. An illustration of this idea is shown in the‘accompanying sketch of a side- ,. a ‘7’ I ,/ l"l:!!";”’l'3l ,, . .m. ,. .. ‘ .04 board that for grace and harmony of construction could hardly be excelled. The top and shelves should be made of sovenfieigbths inch stall, and the legs tapered from not more than two inches square at the toptonotmere thsn'tme inch square at the bottom. These may receive some slight decoration with carving tools, but otherwise the side- board should be perfectly plain and flu- ished with a high polish. The construc- tion is so plainly shown that detailed description does not appear necessary. Women Live Inger Than In.

' sad Writ!» an i Had For the Complexion. Mud is the newest skin beautifler, the latest‘fnd for the improvement of the. complexion—just common. everyday. unromantic. dirty mud. The use and application of this remedy is one of the. wrinkles which the summer girl has . brought back to town with her from the 9 place of her summer sojourn. Not a new thing, by any means, this daubing of the face and throat with dampened earth, but new to a great many people. and especially now to the city districts. In the country. forfrom towns and drug stores. its use has been general and cf- feotivo for many years. But just as soon as the city commences to creep out to and encroach upon the rurality of a place nature's remedies are given the go by. and the people fly to drugs and “store medicines” for the aid which the world around them has been wont to mpply- , And so it is with mud. In the early days of the western flutes, when doc- tors nnd complexion beautific'rs were alike unknown. mud was highly valued by the women of the country. The fem— inine sex delights in fair skins and white hands, even if there is no one in all the township to southern, and the early settlers borrowed the mud idea from the Indians, who valued it for its medicinal effect. , The mud treatment costs nothing and is for more helpful than a series of Turkish baths. The principle is precise- ly that of the facial masks, both of un- (zient Roman times and of the present, day, and the mud washing maiden .will be as fair as a lily all fall.——New York Letter. The latest Petticoats. It would sec-m difficult to discover anything new in petticoats, but they really seem to follow the general trend of the modes. For instance, the extrav- agant use of narrow black velvet ribbon is conspicuous. A skirt of pink and cream brocade is finished with a deep flounce of plain pink silk trimmed with many narrow rows of black. Over this is another ruffle of pink silk not at- rnnged in full fesioons by means of rmettes of the narrow baby velvet. Some silk skirts have finances of com lawn embroidered and trimmed with yellow lace. Some sensible skirts are of mohair trimmed with a ruffle of lace over one of silk. They are no cheaper than many of the silk ones. but; of course wear much better. The present fashion seems to be to have the petticont match in color the dress lining. although both skirt and lining form a contrast to the color used in the gown. Moire silks are as much used for petliroats as they are for dross trimming-New York Tribune. Dr. Susan I. Taber. Dr. Susan I.
